Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of 2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) and 100% ethanol (E) on the degradation of the adhesive system bond strength to sound or artificial caries-affected dentin (microbiological challenge), considering storage time using the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) and analysis of the bonding interface (SEM). The sound teeth (n=72) will be divided …
